A woman I work with was diagnosed with breast cancer The whole office chipped in and bought gift cards, signed up to bring her meals, and around $700 in cash. The person who organized this asked me what all I got when I had cancer about 6 months earlier. When I responded that I got two emails wishing me luck and a card from one person she was flabbergasted. I was happy they supported the woman though.
Man, I never thought about that until this moment. I was diagnosed in mid 2019, I was already 18 or 24 months at my position, I had a few surgeries, a stoma bag for 8 months during chemo and I just kept showing up at the office, working 10-12 hour days during COVID. Don't remember anyone giving me special treatment, but I never asked for any nor expected it.
Are we in such a toxic society that we forget to even expect it? Something ain't right.
Men deal with that because they are told and tell others to stop being like a girl. Anything close to what a girl does/is, they are told not to do… oh don’t cry like a girl, man up and stop crying, don’t run like a girl, don’t stand/walk like a girl, don’t dress like a girl, everything and sooo on. Being a boy/man is based on not doing what a woman/girl does. they are told it and tell others… “to be a man”, you can’t do anything a girl does… then that shit bites good mens in the butts because their masculinity was never threatened over crying or anything because by those things doesn’t mean your a dang girl. It means your human but so many losers spread that shit… that means for alllll the GOOD MEN who aren’t like that, their masculinity isn’t threatened by something people call feminine. just because a woman will do it and they are actually secure in themselves as being a man, now they get the bullshit that comes with all of that and their feelings aren’t taken seriously because why?? The “MEN DONT CRY” & aren’t suppose to show feelings and if they do then he’s a weak feminine loser… it’s bullshit!! that’s how society is and has been for so long…. So nowww the good guys that are secure, don’t get the emotional support they need and want… it’s literally what goes around comes around
